• Visual C# Can't start my Windows Service

  Hi... I've got something which is making me pull my hair out which I hope someone can shed some light on. Basically I've got a Windows Service using VS.NET 2005. This service has been working fine for a while. For some reason now, I cannot get the service to start.
